Default How much HP is my fuel system good for?

Currently have a walbro 255 in the tank with a Vette filter REG, -6 lines and 60# injectors. Planning on switching out the Vette reg and doing a true return system with a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator. Will that system be enough for say 500-550 WHP on Meth? Some say change to -8 lines but the rails and fittings from the tank are only 3/8. I don't want to change out my current Plumbing if it won't make a big difference for my power goals.

You'll be limited to what your Walbro can flow.

About 550rwhp will be the limit of the pump.
